- the meter uses one or more sealed incubation containers into which the water to be tested, a nutrient medium and for cleaning a disinfectant (chlorine water) can be introduced.
- the starting point of this known measuring device is the view that a preconcentration of bacteria for many reasons is not desirable, in particular because filters clogged and the bacteria concentration on the filter could be too high and also the preconcentration on the filter membrane was irreversible. This lead to the fact that the use of a filter membrane did not allow a simple automation.
- the sample to be examined is pumped by means of a pump via an intermediate container, a three-way valve and another pump in a mixing chamber and with the aid of valves and a pump reagents are pumped into the mixing chamber.
- the sample enters an incubator with a capillary.
